Academy Award-winning actress Brie Larson took to the Twitterverse to help those in need of Black Panther movie tickets. She became the next high-profile celebrity to partake in this kind gesture of helping underprivileged families see the film, following in the footsteps of Octavia Spencer, for instance.
Larson started with the tweet below, urging her followers and their loved ones to see the film:
One of the best things you can do for yourself and/or the ones you love is purchase some #BlackPanther tix. I know it’s expensive to go to the theater, but its worth it for this one. You will exit forever impacted.

Larson then reached out to the people of New York City:
Hey NYC, who out there wants a pair of tix to see #BlackPanther but can’t afford it right now? https://t.co/Jo4kgdtSJN

From there, she dove into retweeting folks who either wanted to buy Black Panther tickets for others, or needed help acquiring tickets for themselves:

Larson won her Academy Award for Best Actress for the 2015 film Room in which she was kidnapped, held captive and forced to raised a child born of rape in the confines of a tiny room. She most recently was cast as the next Marvel superhero in the forthcoming Captain Marvel, and can be seen in last year’s The Glass Castle.
Black Panther has already garnered a ton of box-office love, with last night’s opening release earning about $25.2 million. The editor of Fandango posted the following tweet on Thursday night, further illustrating that Black Panther is on the trail to success.
